Download or read book Letters Home written by Sylvia Plath and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 751 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letters Home represents Sylvia Plath's correspondence from her time at Smith College in the early 1950s, through her meeting with, and subsequent marriage to, the poet Ted Hughes, up to her death in February 1963. The letters are addressed mainly to her mother, with whom she had an extremely close and confiding relationship, but there are also some to her brother Warren and her benefactress Mrs Prouty. Plath's energy, enthusiasm and her passionate tackling of life burst onto these pages, providing us with a vivid and intimate portrait of a woman who has come to be regarded as one of the greatest of twentieth-century poets. In addition to her capacity for domestic and writerly happiness, however, these letters also hint at Plath's potential for deep despair, which reached its crisis when she holed up in a London flat for the terrible winter of 1963.

Download or read book Poems for Teens written by Francis Emson Dakwa and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2016-03-11 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poems for Teens is an anthology of fifty poems, with themes touching on children’s diverse needs. These include the need for love, independence, and nurturing by parents. Adolescence is depicted as a turbulent period in which youngsters query about life, love, sickness, and the desire to achieve. The children in these narratives graduate from adolescence to adulthood, needing role models among peers and adults to assist them. At the same time, the poet, Francis Emson Dakwa, aptly describes the children’s need for fun, so they can face life with dignity and enrichment. This anthology is subdivided into five themes: Our Happiness, Our Needs, On HIV and AIDS, Our Problems, and Our Views. In these narratives, the young people are calling for recognition and communication with the outside world, which includes parents, siblings, and friends. But, at the same time, they want the world to understand their teenage identity and not disturb their freedoms and peace.

Download or read book Prelude to Bruise written by Saeed Jones and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2014-08-18 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for Saeed Jones: "Jones is the kind of writer who's more than wanted: he's desperately needed."—FlavorWire "I get shout-happy when I read these poems; they are the gospel; they are the good news of the sustaining power of imagination, tenderness, and outright joy."—D. A. Powell "Prelude to Bruise works its tempestuous mojo just under the skin, wreaking a sweet havoc and rearranging the pulse. These poems don't dole out mercy. Mr. Jones undoubtedly dipped his pen in fierce before crafting these stanzas that rock like backslap. Straighten your skirt, children. The doors of the church are open."—Patricia Smith "It's a big book, a major book. A game-changer. Dazzling, brutal, real. Not just brilliant, caustic, and impassioned but a work that brings history—in which the personal and political are inter-constitutive—to the immediate moment. Jones takes a reader deep into lived experience, into a charged world divided among unstable yet entrenched lines: racial, gendered, political, sexual, familial. Here we absorb each quiet resistance, each whoop of joy, a knowledge of violence and of desire, an unbearable ache/loss/yearning. This is not just a "new voice" but a new song, a new way of singing, a new music made of deep grief's wildfire, of burning intelligence and of all-feeling heart, scorched and seared. In a poem, Jones says, "Boy's body is a song only he can hear." But now that we have this book, we can all hear it. And it's unforgettable."—Brenda Shaughnessy "Inside each hunger, each desire, speaks the voice of a boy that admits "I've always wanted to be dangerous." This is not a threat but a promise to break away from the affliction of silence, to make audible the stories that trouble the dimensions of masculinity and discomfort the polite conversations about race. With impressive grace, Saeed Jones situates the queer black body at the center, where his visibility and vulnerability nurture emotional strength and the irrepressible energy to claim those spaces that were once denied or withheld from him. Prelude to a Bruise is a daring debut."—Rigoberto González From "Sleeping Arrangement": Take your hand out from under my pillow. And take your sheets with you. Drag them under. Make pretend ghosts. I can't have you rattling the bed springs so keep still, keep quiet. Mistake yourself for shadows. Learn the lullabies of lint. Saeed Jones works as the editor of BuzzfeedLGBT.
Download or read book Poems in Two Volumes written by William Wordsworth and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published seven years after William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s popular collection Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth’s Poems, in Two Volumes shocked readers and drew scornful reviews. Poems was a revolutionary challenge to literary taste in revolution-weary times. The poems were perceived as inappropriately personal and egotistical in the attention that the poet pays to “moods of [his own] mind.” The collection is now seen as containing some of the most enduring works of British Romantic poetry, and Wordsworth’s achievement in opening up new worlds of subject matter, emotion, and poetic expression is widely recognized. Richard Matlak places the initial reaction to Poems in its historical context and explains the sea change in critical and popular opinion about these poems. The extensive historical documents place the poems in the context of Wordsworth’s life, contemporary politics, and the literary world of the early nineteenth century.
